My neurologist once said to me that an observation of mine "could be considered as evidence of a learning curve, of sorts." You could say the same. PS I *love* my neurologist--she enjoys saying provocative things to me and I enjoy responding.

I don't get it- it seems perfectly straightforward to me. When s/he feels (emotionally/mentally) weak, the (physical) body is not strong, and so on. It sounds like someone who is not very mentally "connected" to their body, to me. That is, some amount of dissociation going on there- and they are just noticing the relation between how they feel emotionally and the corresponding perceived level of physical strength that comes with it. Sorry but I wouldn't laugh at this person.
